I’ve been busily sewing drapes for our patio doors at our new place. Luckily I can sew a straight line (with my 38-year-old Kenmore sewing machine).
It never misses a beat.

I think we might have the same sewing machines :)
such great shots! you photograph as well as you sew!
I have a 100 year old Singer sewing machine handed down from family, but can’t sew on it or anything modern…great pics
My Kenmore was replaced last year with a new one. It had a few issues that couldn’t be resolved … the feed dogs wouldn’t move, the back switch broke, and something else. It couldn’t be repaired (after travelling back and forth across the ocean twice) so I bought a new model that does just about all the same things but no cams to insert, just turn the dial. I miss my old machine.:(
your photos are just out of this world!!! Excited to see the end hanging product:)
Beautiful! I miss sewing sometimes, there’s such a sense of accomplishment when you have things you’ve sewn hanging in your home!
We are adding a “Florida room” (basically a sunroom) to our little “cottage” — and we will need some window treatments. Sadly, I CANNOT sew a straight line or any other kind.
Oooh very nice! When do we get to see the finished product?!

To me that looks like professional has done them. I can make my curtains but that’s it.
Fantastic details from your work with the machine and the material. Beautiful Macro photos.
Have a nice weekend, Barb. Kind regards, Synnöve
You posted a tutorial on a Websters Dictionary Wreath a while back & I’m going to make one w/ pages from a Rand McNally road atlas… I love maps! Very cool idea & I thank you for sharing it w/ us!!! =)
Strong and trustworthy. I think there’s a lot to be said for older machines. Love the close ups. Your fabric choice seems great, neutral and earthy enough to be timeless and pleasant.
I used to have an old Singer but it drowned in a laundry mishap, and couldn’t be fixed, but I love my new Toyota Quiltmaster.
Wonderful images.
I thought I could sew a straight line but not now that I’ve seen this! Your work looks so professional and I really love earthy tones like the material you’re using. Great close up shots, every one of them.
I have a sewing machine just like this one Barb!!
I spent much of last summer making curtains with it.
It is a wonderful machine, and I’ve never once had any issues with it.
Sending you wishes for a wonderful start to your week!
Oooh…nice! I have a window that could use your touch. Care to come do mine? ;)
Sweet. Love all the shots!
Really awesome shots….!
